Bluetooth sound is not very loud

Very easy to use. Like the fact that you can use or plug in batteries. I can't do much on FM where I live because the reception isn't very good, but I'm fine. The only downside is that it doesn't get very loud when you use Bluetooth to play something through the speaker.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Neutral

good value for money - weather radios

A big improvement over the previous CC Radio SW I had for over 10 years, good radio too. With this radio, the large station buttons are at the top. Radio for AM/FM, that's very nice, good thinking. Good sound. I mainly use this radio for talking when I'm in my garden. This radio is convenient for tuning. Also buy a carrying case for the radio. 4 'D' batteries last a long time, plus a 110 volt power cord. A great reception.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

This is a great radio, the best AM/FM/weather/ham/bluetooth radio on the market!

This is a great radio. The reason I'm going to rate it a 4 is because the box was previously opened and then repackaged. For me it is a used radio. The radio itself is great. The new Bluetooth feature really makes it stand out.

Pros
  • FEATURES: Clock, alarm, sleep timer, headphone jack, dimmable display backlight and 5 one-touch memory presets for each band. Comes with a power cord and runs on 4 "D" size batteries (not included). Ultra-long battery life of approximately 250 hours playback at moderate volume. Comes with a 1-year limited warranty and technical support from C. Crane in the USA.
Cons
  • Not the best

Great Value Portable Audio & Video

A big improvement over the previous CC Radio SW I had for over 10 years, good radio too. This radio has the large station buttons above the radio for AM/FM which is very nice, a good idea. Good sound. I mainly use this radio for talking when I'm in my garden. This radio is convenient for tuning. Also buy a carrying case for the radio. 4 'D' batteries last a long time, plus a 110 volt power cord. Plus a great reception.

Pros
  • EMERGENCY RADIO: Be prepared for emergencies or natural disasters with the NOAA weather band plus government-issued weather warnings and a 2m ham radio for local earthquake and hurricane reporting.
Cons
  • Periodicity

The Real Deal Radio

What. A radio. I've been looking for something like a universal radio for a long time. As a sports fan, I appreciate the art of broadcasting sports. I also really wanted to experience AM radio as my older and cheaper radios never picked up strong signals. So I stumbled upon CCRadio 3. I'm thrilled I did! I'd rather pay a little more for a product that I know will offer a quality experience - it is. I've been addicted to this radio since I got it. Some FM stations are so clear it almost looks…

Pros
  • BLUETOOTH: With the addition of Bluetooth, you can receive countless new radio shows on CCRadio 3 by connecting it to any Bluetooth-enabled smart speaker or phone.
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Reliable workmanship, good sound, I wish the settings were permanent. Also expensive.

Just tested this radio a bit, it seems like a good portable radio and I like the digital tuning style. The weather and the 2 meter ham radio station are good pluses. I also like the fact that the estimated run time from four D-cell batteries is long (250 hours according to C. Crane). With 12 packs of D-cells, you're ready for a 750-hour emergency! That's more important to me in long-term emergencies than some kind of handle (mostly plastic, by the way) that can break or only give you 20-30…

Pros
  • DEVELOPED FOR LONG-RANGE RECEPTION: The best MW reception is guaranteed by the patented dual-coil ferrite MW antenna. Traditional FM reception is unique in that it can clearly identify weak stations.
Cons
  • Upgradeable
